Abstract: A hip orthosis having a flexible waist band for conforming to the waist of a user can be attached at any position on the exterior of the waist band with adjustments in a vertical circumferential and rotational position for connecting a hip support unit at a desired position to maintain the head of a femur into the acetabulum of a user. The hip support unit is connected to a hinge member and an extension unit that is secured at a lower portion of the thigh wherein a thigh support unit can be adjusted so that a three point force system can be applied to the user.

Abstract: A foot orthosis for un-weighting of a user's heel while promoting a dorsalflexion range of motion includes a leg unit for attachment to a user's leg and a foot unit for supporting a user's foot. A sole plate is configured with a toe extension inclined downward to a first support contact position arch portion extending from the first support contact position to a second support contact pad for support that starts forward of a proximity of a location for a user's calcaneus bone and terminates beneath the calcaneus bone. The foot orthosis enables a gait cycle of movement by the user starting at a heel strike at the second support contact pad and terminating at a toe-off of the toe extension. The sole plate can be attached directly to a support shell to provide a lamination resulting from molding the sole plate to the support shell.
